Some household products contain strong chemicals that can be flammable, corrosive, or toxic. Used properly, these products pose little threat to the environment or human health. It's when you try to dispose of them that you may be contributing to water pollution, or endangering people and pets. These household hazards should not be discarded in the regular trash, poured down the drain, or onto the ground.

Residents can drop off end-of-life consumer electronics, including audio-visual equipment, televisions, cell phones and home office equipment such as computers, computer parts, photocopiers and fax machines. These machines will be broken down into their component parts (plastic, glass, toxic metals) and recycled or disposed of safely.
